Reviews
A straightforward and winning memoir. With this appealing book, Fowlds issues a stirring call to action and shines a revealing light on the 'horrible, howling reality of wildlife crime at the front line.', Harrowing tales of trying to save rhinos still alive after poachers have hacked off their horns mix with funny stories, including Prince Harry meeting the author's crusty father, making for an intimate look at the life of a true conservationist working to save Africa's most imperiled species.

Synopsis
What would drive a man to 'smuggle' rhino horn back into Africa at great risk to himself? This is just one of the situations Fowlds has put himself in as part of his ongoing fight against poaching, in order to prove a link between southern Africa and the illicit, lucrative trade in rhino horn in Vietnam. Shavings of rhino horn are sold as a snake-oil "cures," but a rhino's horn has no magical, medicinal properties whatsoever. Yet it is for this that rhinoceroses are being killed at an escalating rate that puts the survival of the species in jeopardy. This corrupt, illegal war on wildlife has brought an iconic animal to the brink of extinction. Growing up on a farm in the eastern Cape of South Africa, Grant developed a deep love of nature, turning his back on hunting to focus on saving wildlife of all kinds and the environment that sustains both them and us. He is a passionate conservationist who puts himself on the front line of protecting rhinos in the wild--right now, against armed poachers--and in the long term, through his work with schoolchildren, communities, and policymakers., The remarkable story of Grant Fowlds, who has dedicated his life to saving the imperiled rhinos, vividly told with Graham Spence, co-author of the bestselling The Elephant Whisperer., The remarkable story of Grant Fowlds, who has dedicated his life to saving the imperiled rhinos, vividly told with Graham Spence, co-author of the bestselling The Elephant Whisperer .
